New York, New York from Soul Music, a pick from the Hodgepod newsletter.
What James had to say about this episode: "Being a Yankees fan was a lot more fun seven years ago, but one thing I still love is when they blast "New York, New York" in Yankee Stadium at the end of each game (if they win, I do the dance). John Kander, who co-wrote "New York, New York," hosted a BBC Soul Music documentary about the song's unexpected rise from a hastily-composed number for a movie soundtrack to a pop standard with global significance."
